Welcome

Welcome to my ever-evolving blog. It started out as a blog on Beachbody workouts and products, mainly when I was a Beachbody coach. I no longer coach, not because I don't believe in Beachbody's programs (I subscribe to Beachbody on Demand and use their workouts every day), I am just not a salesperson and hated that aspect of it. I am more than willing to answer questions about my experiences with their products and the various workouts, and I feel freer to do so without the appearance of giving a biased review of something.

I have also started adding reviews for various things I have purchased like movies, books, CDs, and other products. This was brought about by a fight with Amazon in which all of my reviews were removed over a completely bullshit allegation that I posted a review that violated their terms of service. After going back and forth with the morons in the community-reviews department (even after they admitted that my posts did not violate their guidelines) they restored my account (which took them six months to do), but I have been posting my reviews on my blog to have them preserved in case something like that happens again. And here, I will post uncensored reviews so I will swear from time to time and post reviews that may be longer than Amazon's character limit. Everything I post here on any topic or product is my personal opinion, and I take no compensation for any product reviews I post. I am a member of Amazon's vine program and because I get those products for free, I keep those reviews on Amazon only, but everything I have purchased with my own money, whether from Amazon or some other store/website/outlet, I will post here.  

I also plan to do some longer blog posts on various topics, such as how to learn physics, how to get through calculus, and longer reviews of workout programs as I do them. Basically, whatever strikes me as interesting at the time.  As you can see if you navigate around the blog, I had many years in between postings. During that time I was going back to school to get an engineering degree, and learning material that I avoided my first time through college was a different experience and one that gave me a lot of insight into how to do well in those classes, which I will try to impart here for those who are looking to get a science or engineering degree.

Product Review: ENJOYBASICS 3 Tier Expandable Shoe Rack

 



This is a shoe rack that can expand from just under 18 inches wide to just under 33 inches wide. It is an all-metal rack that is extremely easy to put together. There are six expandable rails that are secured to the end pieces with screws that have a knob end. It does not require any tools to put together. One person can put it together in under ten minutes. They say it can hold up to 12 pairs of shoes. I think it depends on how wide the shoes are, but realistically, it can probably hold six pairs if it is collapsed, and nine to twelve when fully extended. A couple of caveats. It is probably not something that would hold high heels well. It is best for flats or small-heeled shoes. Also, if you have something with a higher top, those will only be able to go on the top rack, and very large boots will not fit on it. It also probably would not hold really small children's shoes because they would probably fall through the rails. However, for a single person, or even a two-adult household, it is perfect and will easily fit in a mudroom, front entry, or front closet. It is absolutely worth the price if you are looking for an inexpensive way to keep a handful of shoes organized.
